I love my telefunken tubes. I never met a neumann I didn't like.... and I will always love wagner. I can't exactly say the same about the Bush administration, but let's hope things will change for the better. The film is a fantastic resource for people who know nothing about the history of tape. I thought it would be more interesting if they went into the history of tape development in Germany, but I guess that's another story waiting to be documented.
BTW, the film does not talk about how Great Britain also claimed certain spoils of war from Germany. The British also developed their own tape recording systems based on the same machines found during WWII. From that you can draw your own assumptions about other governments :-)The story of the magnetic tape recorder is not something new, and I think that many professionals in the audio industry hold german technology in highest esteem regardless of the politics involved in the course of development.

I know how much you like the Tom Dowd Documentary, Mark. This isn't quite as good, but it's still very interesting.hehe… did you recognize that guy? It’s Greg Kinh!
